The fact that I still play all 4 regularly today shows just how much they changed my life & outlook on things. |
If you were really into metal at the time, what inspired you to check these out? I had a similar experience when I first heard Ziggy Stardust. I decided it was time for a dramatic music shift. Before I got the album, I had never even considered David Bowie. I had no idea where to go in terms of music, so when I ran across the album I thought I would give it a chance. I have no idea what I was expecting, but what is on that album surely wasn't it. Been a Bowie fan ever since.
Interestingly enough, the same relationship that I mentioned in my first post was really good at the time I bought it so it always reminds me of that.

I had barely heard this sort of ambient music before but it worked brilliantly and never forgot that feeling of peace and a bad hangover! I still love this over 20 years later.

I can see how you could be relaxed and in pain from the hangover all at the same time with this one. I love it!
